Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability involves improper handling of URLs in WebKit, enabling address bar spoofing. Detection should focus on suspicious URL patterns or navigations that result in a mismatch between the displayed URL and the actual loaded resource. ↗
- →Affected components are WebKit-based browsers (Safari, WebKitGTK). Monitor for user visits to crafted websites that manipulate the address bar display, particularly on unpatched iOS/iPadOS < 16.2, macOS Ventura < 13.1, Safari < 16.2, and iOS/iPadOS < 15.7.2. ↗
- →WebKitGTK on Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6/7) is also affected. Monitor for exploitation attempts targeting WebKitGTK-based applications where a remote attacker may bypass security restrictions via specially crafted URLs. ↗
- ·WebKitGTK packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 are out of support scope, meaning no patches will be provided by Red Hat for these versions. ↗

7 Ways Threat Actors Deliver macOS Malware in the Enterprise
Our 2022 review of macOS malware revealed that the threats faced by businesses and users running macOS endpoints included an increase in backdoors and cross-platform attack frameworks. Threats like CrateDepression and PyMafka used typosquatting attacks against package repositories to infect users, while ChromeLoader and others like oRAT leveraged malvertising as an infection vector.
However, the infection vector used by many other macOS threats remains unknown. SysJoker, OSX.Gimmick, CloudMensis, Alchimist and the Lazarus-attributed Operation In(ter)ception are just some of those for which researchers still do not know how victims were initially compromised. In these and other cases, researchers happened across the malware either in post-infection analyses or by discovering the samples on
